Gelato Messina Tramsheds

Overview

Nothing new here, folks — just another notch in Messina's Sydney domination belt. Head to the Tramsheds Harold Park Messina to find 40 freshly churned flavours — 35 signature flavours and five meticulously crafted new specials each week. Messina's strong point is its conceptual ice cream flavours, so the specials are the way to go.

Once Donato Toce (head chef) and Nick Palumbo (head gelato science guy) think of a theme, they then negotiate the complex gastronomical terrain of proteins, fat and flavour to create the smooth, creamy milk confection we know as gelato. It's this Heston Blumenthal-style art/science nexus that has resulted in Messina becoming a household name and paved the way for its 18 Australian stores.

The Tramsheds store offers all the regular scoops as well as the renowned Messina cakes. And, the heavenly gelato is also available through Deliveroo — oh dear, that's dangerous.
